1. What surfaces can magic transfer stickers be applied to?
Magic transfer stickers work best on soft materials with a slightly textured surface, such as fabric, PU/leather, wood, paper, cardboard, and matte soft plastics.
If the surface is too smooth, the scratch resistance may be lower.
2. Can I apply them on t-shirts? Are they washable?
Yes—our magic transfer stickers can be applied to T-shirts, but they’re not permanent.
- With gentle hand-washing using water only, they typically last around 10–20 washes.
- If you soak with detergent and machine wash, they may start peeling after 2–3 washes.
For best results, we recommend using them on items that aren’t washed often, such as hats, sneakers, insoles, backpacks, gloves, paper bags, cartons, tote bags, canvas bags, gift boxes, and wooden furnitures.
3. Are magic transfer stickers permanent? How durable are they?
Magic transfer stickers are not permanent.
- For indoor use on items that aren’t washed often, they can typically last 1–2 years without peeling.
- For outdoor use or items that are washed frequently, they may start peeling in a few weeks.
4. How scratch-resistant are magic transfer stickers?
They’re highly scratch-resistant.
On non-smooth / textured soft surfaces, they’re very hard to scratch off.
However, on very smooth surfaces, scratch resistance can be reduced.
5. Can magic transfer stickers be applied to silicone?
Sometimes—depends on the silicone. They work on some silicone products, but not all.
Some silicone surfaces have an oily / anti-stain coating, which can prevent the sticker from adhering properly.
For silicone, we recommend getting our free sample pack and testing it on your surface first.
6. What is the minimum printable font size?
7. Does the size include bleeding & margins?

9. May I get a proof prior to printing?
Yes — if you select “Digital Proof Required” before adding to cart, we’ll email you a digital proof within 24 hours (excluding holidays) after you place the order. Production starts only after you approve the proof.
If you do not receive it, please check your spam folder, or email us to support@unikportrait.com
10. How about the color difference?
For orders with a quantity of less than 5,000 stickers, slight color difference is inevitable.
Our transfer stickers are not simply printed by inkjet printers with CMYK ink, but made by screen printing. So, the ink is artificially modulated.
If it is important that your colors are exact, please order 5,000 stickers at least and provide Pantone color number so that we can customize spot ink from ink company directly.
11. When can I receive my stickers?
Magic transfer stickers use a complex production process—they’re not simply digitally printed—so production typically takes 5–7 business days.
For shipping, we offer multiple options, from the fastest DHL (2–4 days) to the most economical Standard Shipping (7–10 days).
You can choose the best fit based on your budget and timeline.
If you have a tight deadline, please contact us to make sure your deadline can be met.
12. Can I send you my text and images for you to design the label for me?
Sorry, we provide printing services only and do not offer design services.
We can help prepare your file for printing, but we cannot adjust, modify, or create the design for you.
13. How can I determine the correct sticker size?
The easiest way is to ask your designer — they can create a mockup to help you confirm the exact label size.
If you’re designing the label yourself, print your design in several different sizes on paper, cut them out, and place them on your product to see which size fits best. Once you’ve found the right one, you can place your order using that confirmed size.
14. Can I have a sample with our own design?
Sorry—matic transfer stickers are screen printed, so each design requires its own film and printing plate. That’s why we have a 100-piece MOQ (to cover the setup cost).
In simple terms, making 1 custom sample costs almost the same as producing 100 labels.
If you just want to check the look and performance, we recommend our free sample pack (random samples—you only cover shipping).
